Reviews
"Would definitely recommend a visit. Be prepared to do a lot of walking but they do offer a tour round the park on a bus at a low cost. It's not just a park it's much more, you will definitely walk away with a lot of knowledge and a great experience."
"This is a special peaceful place. This is our third time here and we just love taking strolls in the woods, checking out the vegetable gardens, the green houses, a d all the various nooks and cranies!"
"Lovely day out. Spent 4 hours there. Still so much left to see. Will be visiting again soon."
"The Palace interior and tour is is laid out very well. The staff are incredibly polite and helpful, I had to travel with my disabled father, they have a lift that they very quickly allowed us to use That aside,1 the history of Kew Palace and the gardens are gorgeous and definitely worth the trip"
"I wasn't sure anything could top Christmas at Kew but the Orchid Festival was nothing short of wonderful!!! So much attention to detail in the way it was curated. Not just the flowers but the overall way they were displayed and the other interesting things they were paired with. This year's theme was Costa Rica. Beautiful flowers, various different cacti, waterfalls and art work. A absolute treat for all the senses! We managed to see a bit of the grounds before going to see the orchids but I think it will take a few more visits before we would have seen everything. Acres and acres of wonderful plants/flowers/trees/architecture to see. I've been wanting to go to the Hive for so long after watching a documentary about it. It did not disappoint. Ingenious science and superb architecture combined. I think I need to visit Kew at least once every season to see the changes/stages of bloom. It may just be one of my favourite places in London. If you have an appreciation for botany and Nature, Kew should be on your list of places to visit! Being surrounded by such beautiful nature is great for your mental health and you certainly get your steps in!!"
